When to use it

Zero-shot time series forecasting with Google’s TimesFM foundation model. Use for any univariate time series (sales, sensors, energy, vitals, weather) without training a custom model. Supports CSV/DataFrame/array inputs with point forecasts and prediction intervals. Includes a preflight system checker script to verify RAM/GPU before first use.

Example requests

Ask your agent in plain language, for example:
  • “Forecast the next 30 days from this daily series, no training please.”
  • “I have hourly_power.csv with a ‘load_kw’ column, about 20k hourly readings from a campus substation. I’m on a laptop with 8 GB RAM and no GPU. Can you predict the next 48 hours with an uncertainty band? I hit a ‘Model is not compiled’ RuntimeError last time I tried a pretrained forecaster.”
  • “We log blood glucose from 300 patients every 5 minutes in a wide CSV, one column per patient. I don’t have time to fit a model per patient, but I need a 2-hour-ahead forecast for each of them, plus a way to flag readings that look abnormally off from what was expected.”
